I rarely put myself in the spotlight, and I don't want this post to appear so... but last year I was a guest star on the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition show, which focused on the struggles of a cancer survivor. Well, that episode won an award a couple weeks ago - information about the award can be found here: http://bit.ly/aULk1N

For those interested in helping others, consider the Be the Match foundation... And to make this post hacker-related, marrow transplants are one of the coolest body hacks out there. And if you come to DefCon 19, swing by the Be the Match booth in the contest area where I'll again be signing up people for the registry!
